VET OPERATES WOODS PLANT
Escanaba -- Escanaba's newest industry, Arbour Furniture Manufacturers,has begun operation here in a building recently purchased by Foy Arbour, 23-year old ex-sailor and WWII veteran, who is the sole proprietor of the business. The announcement ofthe opening of another industry in the city was made by Gust Asp, chairman of the Chamber of Commerce industrial committee, which encouraged and assisted Arbour in getting organized. Arbour already has a substantial order for Adirondack chairs, a type of lawn chair made of knotty pine, and about seven employees have begun cutting stock for the product. He expects to make his first shipment to jobbers next week. Women will be employed in assembling the chairsbut only men will work on the plantmachines. More than half a dozen pieces of new equipment, joiners, bandsaws, scroll and table saws, have been installed and more are on the way. When the company gets into production, the youthful ex-serviceman expects to employ as many as 14 men and women in the plant and hopes to turn out small pieces of finished furniture such as end tables. Arbour had begun manufacturing trellises, lawn furniture, and similar items on a small scale in 1941, but had gaveup the project to join the navybefore America's entry into war. The young manufacturer learned the woodworking craft working with his father,Arthur Arbour, and his uncles, who have had years of experience in thesawmill, carpentry, and woodworking trades.
